Not disappointing at all! Sad to see this series come to an end. Really brutal ending. Kind of want to read it again to feel all the feels again and try to understand better what the author was trying to do.

Kate Elliott is a genius, this is an exceptional piece of decolonization work, I still think about this series regularly, both because it is excellent and become there are some horrifyingly visceral scenes in it.

I probably couldn’t ask for a better ending to this series than I got right here. It’s taken me FOREVER, but I’ve finished Court of Fives, and it’s just as good as I hoped it’d be.
The world building here is superb, and I just love how mysteries from the first book are wrapped up and solved (especially Wenru!). The characters stay very true to themselves, and while some pieces are very predictable, Buried Heart very much sticks the landing.
Very, very satisfying.

This was a great ending to an interesting trilogy. The book started of really strong. There were a lot of intriguing moments and a good ending.

The last book in the series delivers a fast-paced finale to the story that kept me guessing at every turn. Elliott writes the politics of Efea so well—not just the politics of royal infighting for the throne, but the politics of class and race in this conquered land. This was a satisfying end of the series that leaves me wanting to know what happens to this country after the events of the books.

The first book was great, and the second good but not as good as the first. This one is about on par with book 2, but I'm burned out on the story. I may revisit and finish this, but am moving on for now.
I'll definitely be picking up some more Kate Elliot in the future. I don't usually read YA, so that might have been part of the problem.
